“Senior Sister Haruhi…. I …. My uncle has nothing to do with his….” Yuko’s whole body felt a chill run down it. She felt as if her blood was freezing over.

“There is no I. I have told you many times not to cause trouble. You got into the inner sect because your elder took you as their disciple. While this is not strange, the fact that you try to lord over outer sect disciples and even cause trouble disturbing their cultivation time is not something one should do. Now hand me your token.” Haruhi’s eyes were just as cold as they looked. Her hand slipped down, a finger tracing down Yoku’s neck to her chest before her hand pulled back with her palm facing up. “Don’t you like bullying others? Give me your token.”

Yoku’s lips quivered. She knew what was about to happen. She worked hard for her time here and now… With a shaky hand, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a token, and hesitantly handed it over.

Haruhi took the token with a smile that did not reach her eyes, looked at the amount of time allotted on the token. “Oh, not bad. Sixty hours. Just enough to give everyone here an extra five hours’ worth of time.”

“Senior Sister Haruhi! Don’t go too far! Do you know how many missions I had to….. AhhH!” Yoku suddenly slammed into the floor face first. The spirit pressure weighing down on her was so great she could not even stand.

“Don’t act high and mighty in front of me. I dislike people who lie. How many people have you extorted for these points? How many of your male friends have you hung on to and asked for these points? While you might not be selling your body, you are pretty close to doing it. You with orange strength and spirit power. You dare to wag your tail in front of me? Do you not know what it means to not know your place!?

“ I will say this now. You do not even go on missions. You run around wagging your tail at the boys who take an interest in you. Using your sweet words, buttering them up, you get them to give you time for the tower. You have been doing it for years since you have joined, but look at you. Still a beginner fourth fate star! You haven’t even reached the second stage of the fourth fate star, even after cultivating in the dragon tower for a year!

“To be honest, you are an embarrassment to the Heavenly Cloud Sect!” Haruhi knelt down and poked Yoku’s cheek. “Today, your mistake is that you dared to start something within the sect. What you do out of the sect is your business, but remember, sometimes you shouldn’t mess with certain people. Even your uncle can’t do anything to these two girls. They may look young and innocent, but I know things you do not know.”

Haruhi released her pressure allowing Yoku to finally breathe. She gasped for air as she tried to crawl up from the ground. “I will be taking your token and will return it to you later. For now, leave. Don’t let me see your face here for the next three months!”

Yoku got up and collected herself, her face red from anger and embarrassment. She turned her head slightly and glared at Yuki and Nana before hurrying towards the third floor entrance. She did not dare go against Haruhi’s words. The young man who was with her quickly followed after her. When they reached the second floor, he finally called out: ‘Senior Sister Yoku?”

“Those bitches! Get someone to follow them. I want to know all their movements. As soon as they leave the sect, take care of them! I want them dead! Dead! Dead! Ahhh! How dare they!” She ignored the stares as she hurried out of the Dragon Tower. The young man could only give chase.

Haruhi snorted before looking at Yuki and Nana and said: “Hold your tokens.”

Nana and Yuki did as they were asked. They watched as Haruhi tapped the token in her hand off theirs. All three tokens lit up, and five more hours of time for the dragon tower as added.

Haruhi then turned and tossed the token to another girl. “You, go around the room and add five hours each to everyone’s tokens. There should be enough for everyone. If not, come to me, and I will give you what you are missing.”

“Yes, Senior Sister Haruhi!” The girl smiled brightly. She got lucky coming to the tower today!

Haruhi expression softened a bit as she nodded at the girl and then turned to Yuki and Nana. “You two…. I am glad you stuck up for yourselves.”

“Thank you for intervening.” Nana bowed her head slightly. Yuki did the same.

“It’s nothing. I owe Elder Nishikawa a lot. She had helped me a bit when I first came to the sect. She was the one who discovered that I had an Ice elemental body and helped me to activate it. If not, I would not have become the sect master’s direct disciple and become a core disciple as well. But more than that….” Haruhi stepped forward and took Yuki’s hands into hers. “I have a great interest in you, Junior Sister Yuki.”

A hand suddenly shot between them as Yuki was pulled back from Haruhi. “Too close to Yuki!”

“Haha!” Haruhi grinned as she looked at Nana and then at Yuki. “It’s okay. We will talk another time. You should start cultivating. But remember Yuki, I do wish to speak with you alone sometime!”

Nana glared at Haruhi, who only laughed it off as she turned and waved before walking towards the entrance to the fourth floor.
